eyes on maré

PROJECT

Since 2016, Redes da Maré, based on its Right to Public Security and Access to Justice Axis, has been carrying out the Eyes on Maré project, which continuously collects and systematizes information on situations of violence in the 16 communities of Maré, especially in the days of armed
conflicts.

The work is done from 5 central sources: [1] field research on days of armed clashes; [2] articulation of a network of collaborators - 147 residents and 21 organizations working in the favelas of Maré, which contribute by reporting and validating evidence about the violence that occurred; [3] collection of official data from the municipal and state government departments, in addition to police and research institutes; [4] survey in mass media and social networks about the events taking place in the region; and [5] the Eyes on Maré team goes to the field, up to a maximum of 48 hours after the situations of armed confrontation to confirm the veracity of the information received, before including them in the database.

Information on armed clashes and violations of rights collected by Redes da Maré in the past four years point to recurring situations of violence, as shown in the materials below.

The 4th edition of the Right to Public Security Bulletin in Maré is being launched in early 2020. The material has been published annually, since 2016, with data updated every year, also drawing a comparison in time.
In 2020, Redes da Maré innovates and launches two more instruments to deepen the look and analysis of the situation: Online Map and Data Table.
